How many of us have seen a rescue situation unfold on TV or the paper and think\u00a0\u201cHow did they get into that mess\u201d or \u201cwhat on earth?\u201d<\/p>\n

Every year there are thousands of people that have to be rescued from various situations. Although from a distance it is easy to judge and say \u201cI would never get into that situation\u201d, it is worth analyzing how these things happen so we can be better at avoiding them.<\/p>\n

Sorry but that takes some experience.<\/p>\n

A lot of people are fully capable of it and having a great experience but over estimating your level of preparedness or rushing into a major summit like that is foolhardy. Train the right way. Get out there with a friend or a group to prepare for the adventures you want to have. During a SHTF scenario, you are not going just to be able to strap on a pack that weighs 40 lbs or more and take off like a super athlete if what you are used to involves a desk during the week and a few short hikes on…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
